Karen K - We agree with you about Christmas vs. Xmas. I have an old record of George Beverly Shea singing, "Don't wish me Merry Xmas." It's not that much harder to write Christ than X. Thank you for taking a stand.

It's a shame Christmas now-a-days is all about gifts and not about our Savior's birth. |
Courage comes from accepting others not belittling them.
Please can everyone use the "Thumper rule": "If you can't say something nice,..., don't say anything at all!"

Xmas is a term that has been used for thousands of years... blame the Greeks and early Xians!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas As far as iPad covers, I made mine with Timtex for sturdiness along with padding for softness and with elastic in the corners to hold the iPad in. Thanks for the links to many other ways to make a cover though. Had I seen those earlier, it would have made my lowly effort much easier. |
I loved the Etch-A-Sketch cover. Going to make one for my
DMIL for a holiday gift. thanks for the link!

Isn't this supposed to be a quilters' forum, not a place for religious/non remarks that have nothing to do with quilting? Reminds me of a thread a year or so ago with folks outraged about how the "government" was trying to do horrible things to everyone. Not appropriate for this board, folks.

Thank you!
